Think

I do not have a PhD. I am not a famous author. I am not a self-help expert.

Even though I am not famous, I have LIVED.

Yes, that is right, I have lived.

I have learned many lessons along the journey of life.

The lessons I have learned have changed my way of thinking. They have changed my life.

All it takes is making a conscious effort to THINK, and use common sense.

Yes…..The Choice is Yours!

Come with me on a journey of things that happen in everyday life. I will teach you what I have learned.

If I can make a difference in just on person’s life, then I have accomplished my goal.

Getting Up In The Morning

Throughout this book, I am going to ask you many times to envision a large red STOP sign. This is your cue to STOP and THINK.

It is a work day. The alarm goes off. You hit the snooze button the maximum number of times. You are trying to stay in bed as long as possible. You are dreading the day. Some of the thoughts going through your mind may be:

I don’t want to face another bad day.

I wish I could stay in bed and sleep.

I just know I am going to have a bad day.

Hello!!! If you tell yourself you are going to have a bad day, guess what will happen?

Yes, that is right. You will have a bad day. It is guaranteed.

STOP

Change your thoughts. Use some of these positive thoughts to start your day right.

WOW! Another day. I am going to make this the best day possible.

I could stay in bed and sleep, but I can’t wait to get up and see all the beauty around me. The sun is coming up. The flowers are blooming. I am going to concentrate on all the beauty in my world today.

I am going to have a good day. No matter what happens, I will STOP and THINK of the positives instead of the negatives.

We must constantly be monitoring our thoughts to ensure that the thoughts are positive and not negative.

Yes, I know it sounds like a lot of work.

Guess what? It is a lot of work. But, with practice, we will begin to think positive thoughts. We will take a bad habit (Negative Thoughts) and turn it into a good habit (Positive Thoughts).
